****Potential Partnership/Collaboration Opportunity****I was just looking at Cappasity, again, after hearing about the project a few months ago. Scrolled past the token profile on CoinMarketCap and figured it's time to reach out.
District0x and Decentraland projects are two that I began following during their ICO phase. Got into district0x, but not Decentraland. I continued to follow both projects closely because Decentraland is going to have a district within district0x. I first created a district0x proposal about a 'Virtual Reality Shopping District' which is intended to bridge the gap between Virtual Worlds and real-world ecommerce entrepreneurs.
The district0x Github proposal can be found here:

https://github.com/decentraland/districts/issues/45A couple months later, the Decentraland terraform event began. This event was the creation of their first city in the virtual world that Decentraland is - Genesis City.
A certain quantity of land was 'minted' for the terraform event. The idea was that 1,000 MANA (Decentraland token) = 1 parcel of LAND in Decentraland.
This turned into giving participants 2 options to contribute their MANA to:
1. Commit a specified amount of MANA to bid on parcels of LAND, starting at 1,000 MANA = 1 LAND and moving up 25% minimum each bid, and/or
2. Commit a specific amount of MANA to a district within Decentraland at a rate of 1 LAND = 1,000 MANA.
So what I did was put 50% into my district proposal as a seed and the rest toward the LAND auction part of the terraform event. My contribution to VRS District is 10 LAND or 10,000 MANA...to my surprise, the community came together and contributed a whopping 407,000 MANA or 407 parcels of LAND to VRS District.
This started as an innovative, creative idea that, thinking back, was really more about me expressing my fantasy for something this cool to happen to the world of business. Once I saw how many parcels of LAND there were for VRS District, things got VERY real. Specially because there were parcels of LAND auctioned at up to 600,000 MANA - that's equivalent to about $90,000 at MANA's current price of $0.15.
So VRS District is a real district with 417 parcels of LAND that will each increase in value from the 1,000 MANA they originally each cost based on how much the LAND around them and similar plots were auctioned for. Turns out the other district creators are VERY tight-knit and passionate about this project as well - we will likely be working together in some type of group partnership.
VRS District is intended to bridge the gap for entrepreneurs who sell online, giving them the ability to 'teleport' or 'upload' their products into an easy-to-use hardware product or software program on their computer.
This will enable in-world participants of Decentraland to walk around and actually try on real-life products before purchasing them, making their purchase, and either having their product sent to their real-world home OR ship it to their Decentraland home or 'backpack' - however the creators of Decentraland determine we hold items in-world.
This, in turn, gives those entrepreneurs a different type or customer reach - one that has never before existed.
I believe Cappasity could be a great project for VRS District to collaborate or partner with for the long-haul. Someone is going to need to help develop the business owner's VR shop, maybe put detail into their products, create custom art for their shop, etc.
This is aimed to be innovative so I am totally open to creative collaboration. Also have a heavy background in startups and entrepreneurship, marketing, finance and economics. Working to learn more about the more technical programming side of the tech world so I can better navigate through potential partnerships/collaborations like this.
Would love to hear back from the team and will try to find an email to send this to as well. Feel free to reach out on here or BitcoinTalk.org.

VRS District intends to start with Decentraland, do an ICO/crowdsale of sorts, start moving into Second Life with the Decentraland connections I have made, and continue expanding to other Virtual Worlds as we continue to grow. The ball is just getting rolling here.
